A TikTok video appears to be down. Please stay in our lane. Our peers, yours & mine, *not* Black women, let this nation down.
Jasmine Crockett is doing the work. Calling her out and disrespecting her is outrageous.
Pls don’t just remove your video, make it right.

Kelly’s article is worth reading multiple times to fully comprehend & apply. But start with once.
What a season it could be if each and everyone opens their eyes to see, accept, and include those around them in ways that they can participate.

Being chronically ill at Christmas can be lonely. Many of us deal with feelings of guilt and are gaslit for not being able to participate in family traditions.
My article on how to find joy in the small things, how others can make the holidays accessible and a reminder that no one is alone:

A Chronic Illness Christmas
When you're chronically ill, the holidays can be lonely. Feelings of guilt are common. A look at how to set boundaries, support other disabled people and a reminder that you're never alone.

I’ve been quiet here & the other place. Covid finally hit the household mid-Nov. Immunology said my immune system tanked right before the infection. Working on approvals for IGG infusions & radically resting.

I’d be so much happier if everyone did this. Lots of benefit from pascal case. #Accessibilty

PSA from the Bluesky "It's A Feature, Not A Bug" files: when you post your hashtags, it's good to use #PascalCase (capitalize each word in the tag). That'll allow screen readers to pronounce the tags in a comprehensible way. But that works everywhere, not just here on Bluesky.

This whole thread.
I would suggest that in addition to the forms of family violence described here, we add the entire #adoption industry, which took its modern form less than a century ago, in no small measure owing to the tireless efforts of a literal child thief and trafficker named Georgia Tann.

Bluesky,
Today is my 2nd day on here as an escapee from The Bad Place. I am BEGGING y’all to repost this
I have $80,000 in scholarship money to give away to women and girls NATIONWIDE. I worked so hard to raise this money. Applications open THIS week. I’m scared the mass migration will impact this

Just saw this in the Miami airport
Did you know those of us with invisible disability can fly with a sunflower lanyard as communication to the support staff on your flight?
